A HANGMAN'S QUESTION.
Does the Struggling of Suspended Person,
After Execution, Indicate Suffering?

Does the Struggling of a Suspended Person,
After Execution, Indicate Suffering?
Chicago Journal.
The opinion was recently expressed by a physi-
clan that person struggling after being hanged
would suffer just as long as the struggle con-
tinued. Doctors differ. DIR. Bluthardt is of the
opposite opinion. ''As soon,n said he, "as the
pressure takes place upon the trachea and blood
vessels of the neck there is congestion of the
brain, followed oy congestion OF the lungs. and
insensibility and cessation OF respiration imma-
diatelv ensue. The congestion of the brain
makes the person unconscious"
''Will he kick or struggle while in that con6i-
ton of unconsciouspessl'
THAT depends the muscular action. If the
spinal cord is ruptured during the fall. the jerk
ing that takes place by the body falling and

the spine-is followed by paralysis of the entire
body, in which case there could be no struggling.
This is how the man ought to be hanged. But
as to cases in which struggling of the body oc-

A New Medica, Discovery.

Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.
A most important remedial discovery has Just
been signaliZed at the latest meeting of the
Academy of Nj edcine. II is that of substance
called anti-pyripe which is extracted from coal
tar. and which has been declared by the faculty
of Paris to take its place in the first rank of
those medicaments by which physicians may
combat and suppress pain without danger to the
patient. For sick headache and neuralgia head
ache it is less a remedy than a panacea. One
dose effects perfect in either Of these
agonizIng forms of headache in less than half
an hour, and that without affecting the patients
system in any unpleasant fashion. 1t is coming
largely into popular use a headache in
Paris, where neuralgia is so common and where
it often takes that distressing shape. AS my
husband has been subject all his life TO violent
attacks of sick headache. generally lasting from
eight to twelve hours. l was amazed the other
day to gee an unusually acute attack entirely
dissipated IN fifteen minutes by one dose of the
new remedy, and hasten to signaliZe its cura-
tive powors TO those who may be similarly af-
ficted. DR.. Brown -Scquard declares that the
anti pyrine, in small daily doses is a sure pre-
servatve against seasickness, but of its efficacy
in such cases | know nothing personally.
